My colleague Emma Kemp has just been caught out in the rain. We’ll hear from her shortly. Meanwhile, we’re pretty much ready to go! Nadal won the toss and chose to serve first. Here we go!
A quick word on the weather, as always: it’s cooled right down to around 22C outside. Apparently it’s raining outside and the roof above Rod Laver Arena has been closed.
